Trumpeter F-100F out

I get periodic emails from them so assumed they're still alive.

Good to know regarding Master Details!

You'll still need a new inlet, tank extensions and need to check the canopy hood profile but looks tasty!

Still cant believe they actually followed up with the F after all these years. Enough to make a fella wonder............

That is still TBD

[thierry laurent]

As far as I'm remembering the TBD is indeed the last item from the 1/32 missing kits announced by Trumpeter close to ten years ago! So, who knows....?

[Tony T]

Wondering if they'll stop with the TBD and F-100C or if December's 2021-2022 catalgue will add anything new in 1/32. 

 

Would be nice to see the missing subjects in the Century Series line-up, especially the Voodoo, Deuce and Six.

Oh yes, I'd love to see a -102, and a Voodoo would also be nice.

[Out2gtcha]

Oh my yes, a  SIX! Would be most welcome

On the wing thickness I really would not worry. I have just finished wrestling a Mono F-100 I to submission and comparing it with the Trumpy Hun I cannot tell the difference. The deployed slats, tanks etc obscure the lack of thickness.

I too had thoughts of performing surgery but not worth the effort in my opinion

Not real sure why, but I've never been a big fan of the -106, not nearly as much as the -102 anyway. And speaking of the Voodoo, there's a pretty nice one not too far from here (minus engines, of course), a gate guard of sorts, at the Spirit of Saint Louis airport. This is still quite visible on Google satellite maps too. I seem to recall that for the longest time they also had an F-4 (or some other Mac product), but I just noticed a couple of months back that it's gone now.

The Monogram series always were good kits, at least in my opinion. I've considered the Trumpeter kit in 1:48 scale, but have not really looked into that enough to determine if purchasing it is worthwhile or not.

Thanks for that.

The common parts look identical to the earlier D releases so I'll get a new nose scoop but as Renaissance no longer make the drop tank plugs — they just told me so in an email — that means buying Zacto or AMS parts from across the pond. Is Harold still selling the nose scoop and tank plugs (or whole new fuel tank front ends) set? I couldn't see any at Sprue Brothers.

i got the plugs from Harold a while back....
